CrossFire 8300/8301 Stacker Guide to Operation, DOC-7092 v. 1.0 3. Preparing for Installation
Site Requirements
Following are the site requirements for installation.
Environment
Choose a clean, dust-free, preferably air-conditioned location. Avoid direct
sunlight, heat sources, or areas with high levels of EMI (Electromagnetic
Interference).
Chassis Accessibility
Make sure the front and rear panel of the equipment is accessible so that you can
monitor the LED indicators and access the control switches. Leaving enough
clearance at the front and rear will also allow easier cabling and service.
Cooling and Airflow
Two fans, which are located at the rear of the switch, cool the interior by drawing
air through vents on the sides and forcing heated air out through holes in the rear.
If the internal temperature exceeds 50°C (112°F), a temperature error is reported to
the console.
➽ ➽ ➽ ➽
Caution: To protect the equipment from overheating, do not operate it in an area
that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F). To
prevent airflow restriction, you must allow at least 7.6 cm (3”) of clearance around
chassis openings for proper airflow.
Power
The source electrical outlet should be installed near the switch, be easily accessible,
and be properly grounded.

Warning: Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For
systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even
when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected. For systems without
a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power
cord is connected.

Warning: This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit
(overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than
120 VAC, 15 A U.S. (240 VAC, 10 A international) is used on the phase conductors
(all current-carrying conductors).
